What about pairing each Marple with a different detective? Read a Marple, then a Poirot, then a Marple, then a 'Standalone' like 'And Then There Were None'. It keeps the Christie style fresh and prevents you from getting tired of the same detective's voice. Miss Marple's insights will stand out more when contrasted with Poirot's little grey cells or the tense anonymity of a standalone thriller. This approach makes her unique psychological method shine brighter.

Mix in the non-Marple Christies! Her other books are fantastic. After a couple of Marples, try 'Death on the Nile' or 'Five Little Pigs'. It gives you a break and reminds you how versatile Christie was. Then come back to Miss Marple with renewed appreciation for her quiet, psychological approach compared to Poirot's theatricality or the bleakness of some standalones. A varied Christie diet is the healthiest. Don't binge one detective; savor the whole range of her genius.
